Pronunciation: [ˈɛdɪməɹ ɒv pɹˈɛɡnənsi] (IPA) 
Edema of pregnancy, also known as gestational edema, is a common condition experienced by pregnant women. It is characterized by the accumulation of fluid in the body, particularly the ankles, feet, and legs. Other parts of the body may also be affected, such as the hands, face, and eyes. Some synonyms for edema of pregnancy include pregnancy-induced edema, third-trimester edema, and puffy feet and ankles. While the condition is typically harmless and resolves on its own after delivery, it can be uncomfortable and may require certain lifestyle changes such as staying hydrated, stretching, and wearing comfortable shoes. In rare cases, severe edema may indicate a serious underlying medical condition and should be evaluated by a healthcare provider.
